Deca Sports trailer looks eerily similar to that other Wii casual sports game

Hey, remember that casual game for the Wii? The one with all the sports in it that was being published by Hudson Entertainment, of Bomberman Live fame? You know, the one whose name you helped pick?

You might remember the game from when we salivated over it back at TGS. The game looked like an utter mindf*ck, and everyone thought it would be a great addition to the PS3’s online library, filling it out just a little more. Of course, the excitement surrounding Echochrome died out, with other games garnering attention […]

Club Nintendo item puts music on a SD memory card

I never liked Star Trek, but I do remember seeing at least one Star Trek film awhile back.

Don King Presents: Prizefighter is Don King-a-rific
Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
This afternoon, 2K Games blew up my inbox with the official Xbox 360 box art for their upcoming title Don King Presents: Prizefighters. The look is minimal, with a boxer’s silhouette (that’s you!) taking up most of the space and a creepy little Don King sketch highlighting it all.
2K Sports’ official press site also had […]

Category: Wii Xbox 360 Playstation 3 | Leave a Comment
